If you're looking for a tool that allows you to see the EXIF from within a browser, try this Firefox add-on (Exif Viewer by Alan Ranskin). It's cross platform (works with Windows, Mac, Linux versions of Firefox), and I use it from within Firefox under both Windows and Linux.

If you're looking for a way to see the EXIF in photos on your hard drive without using a browser, I don't know the answer (I don't use a Mac). With my current Linux distro (SimplyMEPIS 8.0 Release Candidate 2), I can simply perform a "Mouse Over" (hold the cursor over an image icon within a folder) using the default Konquerer file manager, and the image information pops up. There may be something similar you can do with a Mac. Hopefully, someone using one will see this post and respond.

The Firefox add-on I mentioned in my first post should work for you (it's cross platform), as long as you can use Firefox as your browser (I use Firefox with both Windows and Linux, and it's also available for Mac).

Since I use more than one Operating System (I'm currently running under SimplyMEPIS 8.0 Release Candidate 2, even though I've got Vista installed in a separate partition on my Desktop), I prefer to use Firefox addons that work with both Windows and Linux for consistency

You are more computer savvy then I. One OS is all I want to use. I think that the mozilla link will only work with firefox? If so then I would need to download firefox. Can you have Safari and Firefox simultaneously on one desktop without making things to complicated?

I feel like I'm learning a new language adapting to this mac. I sure miss the right click option (made things so easy).

Even resizing photo's to post here is something I'm going to have to relearn.

Right (those two EXIF readers will only work with Firefox). I don't know if anything similar is available for Safari.

Yes, you should be able to install another browser like Firefox without any issues (just use it as desired, or use Safari as desired). They can both reside on the same PC.

One of them will be the default browser (the one that loads when you click on a link in your E-mail, etc.). Firefox will ask you if you want to make it the default browser when you install it. You can tell it No if you'd prefer to leave Safari as your default browser. Then, just load Firefox when you want to use it instead. You can download it from here:

I prefer to stick with Linux whenever possible. But, some Windows programs won't run under Wine (a free product that allows Windows applications to run under Linux).

So, you're left with the choice of running these programs in a copy of Windows running in a virtual machine under Linux, or booting into Windows when you need it. Right now, I just boot into it when I need to use a program that requires Windows. At some point, I'll probably just install Windows in a Virtual Machine instead (probably by using VirtualBox, which is free )

BTW, you can also install the operating system I'm currently using (SimplyMEPIS 8.0 RC2) on a Mac in a dual boot configuration with OS X (so that you just select the OS you want to boot into when you start your PC). Warren (the developer of SimplyMEPIS) uses a Mac. lol

If you want to give it a try sometime, it will run from a CD without installing anything (although it's fairly slow that way, due to the speed of a CD and the way it's decompressing files "on the fly", since it's storing around 3GB of programs on a 700MB CD). It's got lots of preinstalled software, including image management applications like digiKam (with many thousands of free applications available with a mouse click or two by using the preinstalled Synaptic Package Manager)

Warren includes a Mac installer program to help make it easier to install on an Intel based Mac. You can download the latest Mepis 8.0 Release Candidate from the links in this press release, burn it to CD and boot into it to see if you like it or not. Then, install it in a dual boot configuration if you do. It's free.
